I'm often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush.

The reality of loving God is loving him like he's a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff.

We tend to think that refusing to exalt Christ is staying true to our self-will and personal freedom when really we are condemning ourselves. Sure, we can pretend to stay true to ourselves, but if you want to talk about reality, all of that is completely trivial if this life is an island and He's the only pilot with a plane and a flight plan.

One of the greatest gifts from God is the eternal perspective. It is a level of fearlessness, a level of understanding where one can experience even emotional harmony with God.

Humility is, in a sense, admitting how egotistical you are.

I imagine that the intelligent people are the ones so intelligent that they don't even need or want to look 'intelligent' anymore.
